Key 3: Pray together
Surely, you are familiar with the saying: “A family that prays together stays together.” If you plan to be a family someday or are a family already and have not yet done so, then starting a prayer habit now is very valuable. Discuss and agree on keeping a time of prayer together as a couple, at least once a day if possible. Make it a habit to bring all your concerns, struggles, and also joys before the Lord. As you hear the other person pray, you come to know their burden, their struggle, and also their joys. It brings a tenderness in your own heart when you hear someone else pray with compassion.
Praying together also builds an expectation for what God is going to do! Every time He answers a prayer our faith grows and becomes stronger.
Key 4: Go to church
Scripture encourages us not to stay away from the meetings of the church. It really honors the Lord when a couple goes to church together. If you are not currently part of a congregation, ask the Lord where you can become part of a community of believers. This is an example to other couples and will one day be for your children.
QUESTIONS TO ASK
>> It can feel very awkward to pray together the first time. Discuss it with each other and decide why you want to pray together. What are your expectations for when you pray together. Discuss practical things like, who is going to pray first, what are we going to pray about, what would you like me to pray for you, etc.
